I love some stuff nobody else ever would like. I’m not into fashion, make up or whatever girls are into these days. My heart lies elsewhere. I am very down to earth, love a good laugh, have a wicked sense of humour. Which gets me into trouble occasionally. My favourite colour is blue and mainly wear something that colour.

Things that I love and am passionate about:

I've recently discovered how to use Photoshop and found a love for making wallpapers and banners. I will be posting them as and when I make them.

I am a huge fan of stories which is known as fan fiction online and fanvids. Fanvids you might ask? Well they are clips from a particular series, film or original works, with a song telling the story. Or editing the clips in such away the viewer like me admires it and wished they had made it. I do have a dabble at making fanvids every now and then, they are nothing special but I like them. I just hope you like what I’ve made.

A while ago I had ago at writing my own story. It wasn’t that great but thanks to Holdt and Pinkdiamonds they made it so much better. I have uploaded it here just look under Stargate Slash and its called Feeling A Bit Down.

I am also a huge fan of official music videos. Past and present they are sometimes really well made where has others make you want to cringe. That’s why sometimes I appreciate fan made ones too.

Other stuff I love and collect:

I love Alien models or if your posh then Alien figurines. I have collected them since I was 13 or 14. Same as I love Wolves and Dolphin figurines, posters, wind charms and anything else I can buy.

Before I got into collecting box sets or recording stuff off telly, my first love was and always will be music. I love all types of music ranging from scores from films I love to old stuff and latest stuff.

About my username:

A few people have asked me why Manic Mea? So I'm not great at explaining anything at a moment’s notice so I decided to write it instead.

Well my real first name is Maria but don't use it online very much. I think I only use it on Facebook or sites when I'm buying stuff. I don't use Maria because everyone always shortens it to Marie which I can't stand. I don’t mind if anyone calls me Maz but will not answer to Marie.

Well the name Mea came about because I worked with one kid and he kept nearly calling me Marie and kept correcting himself. Well one day he called me Mea and I loved it so from then on until he left he either called me Mea or Mee.

Well Manic is an easy part to explain. I have loved the Manic Street Preachers ever since I heard of them when I was 14. Well I only played their songs for a long time and got on everyone's nerves. The band was referred to on the radio as The Manics.

You might guess now that Mea is my nickname in real life but was too short to use on some websites so I had to make it longer. Hensy the name Manic Mea, I just took the s of Manics and now have a cool name. I loved it that much I even used it for the name of this site. ;)
